Relationships across systems, not just documents
Who each tool is for
Curiosity
For industrial teams that need structured context and on-premises control. Knowledge lives in engineering systems, structured records and regulated environments, and the answers have to reason over how those things connect.
Microsoft O365 Search
Microsoft O365 Search and Microsoft 365 Copilot bring search and an AI assistant to the Microsoft ecosystem, using data across SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and OneDrive. They work best when knowledge lives inside Microsoft tools. They run in the Microsoft cloud.
Microsoft is a strong default for teams standardised on Microsoft with lighter needs. Curiosity is for teams whose critical knowledge sits outside Microsoft, in engineering and industrial systems, and needs to run on their own infrastructure.
Sees the whole estate
Microsoft search mostly covers the Microsoft 365 estate. Curiosity connects systems across the business, from network drives to enterprise apps and data lakes.
A context graph over your data
Microsoft answers over documents and messages. Curiosity builds a context graph of entities and relationships, and hands that structure to the model.
Runs on your infrastructure
Microsoft runs in its cloud. Curiosity runs where your data lives, and connects the language model you choose.
